Windows 10: Phone Link with iPhone

Hey, so my question is that if I’m able to connect my iPhone to my PC which I haven’t tested yet. Will I be able to send blue iMessages from the PC itself using the iPhone’s number. Secondly, would I be able to have an integration where I can use the Phone Link as an API call to send iMessages?

Phone Link with iPhone, currently no Bluetooth

Hi all,

I was very much looking forward using Phone Link now that I got myself to update to Win 11.

Unfortunately, my PC doesn't support Bluetooth. Hence following questions:

Is there...

1. an update coming where iPhone are able to pair via Wifi?
   
2. a possibility to connect the iPhone via USB / Tethering?
   
3. a way to solely receive and write messages via Windows on my iPhone, with no Bluetooth connection required?
   

If all of this is a no, what would be the easiest way to retrofit Bluetooth? Would any 3rd party USB Bluetooth adapter be sufficient? If so, could you suggest/recommend one?

Thank you very much

-Sebastian

 

iPhone 11 wont' pair with Phone Link (O/S Windows 11)

I am unable to pair my iPhone with Phone Link.

• Windows 11 is updated
  
• Link to Windows is updated and installed on my iPhone
  
• PC is paired with the iPhone, and vice versa
  

I don't see Phone Link listed as an installed app under settings

Phone Link is listed as a default app under the settings

Phone Link is turned on as a start up, although it is listed as "not measured"

The pairing was successful until last fall and now isn't working.

 

Phone Link won't send/receive MMS texts (iPhone)

I'm using Windows 11 Pro (version 21H2) with Phone Link installed (version 1.23102.126.0).
I've synced Phone Link to my iPhone 12 Pro Max (iOS 17.2.1).

I can send and receive SMS text Messages, but not MMS texts (including group messaging and images).

How can I send/receive MMS messages with Phone Link?

Steps taken:

• Update both devices' OS and relevant apps to their latest versions.
  
• Pair and sync iPhone to Phone Link and successfully send calls and SMS messages.
  
• Reset Phone Link app (delete and reinstall, not allowed)
  
• Trouble shoot the steps on the relevant Microsoft Support page (Troubleshooting for messages in the Phone Link - Microsoft Support). (I'm not using third party messaging apps on my phone because Apple won't allow them. And I've made sure I'm running the latest versions.)
  

Still, Phone Link says "Content type not supported" when I copy and paste an image (.PNG, .JPG) in the "Send a message" field.
